Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is seeking custom phosphoramidite and succinate materials for research and development supporting the GC3 project. The chemicals will support pilot-scale manufacturing of oligonucleotides using a novel process at the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre. Required supply ranges from 10 grams to 1 kilogram. This is a specialist chemicals and chemical reagents supply requirement, rather than a request to build or operate the manufacturing equipment. CPI is a UK technology innovation centre and part of the Government’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult. The project’s delivery site is the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre; CPI is based at the Wilton Centre in Redcar.

CPI invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 12 noon on 9 November 2026 and a bid return deadline of 12 noon on 16 November 2026. The stated contract period runs from 24 December 2026 to 23 December 2029. The estimated value is £173,000 excluding VAT (£207,600 including VAT). There is one lot. The procurement is for a closed, multi-supplier framework, with suppliers ranked by their evaluation scores; CPI reserves the right to make direct awards without further competition. Evaluation is based on quality and service (60%) and price (40%). Offers are submitted electronically through CPI’s tendering portal.

This opportunity suits specialist chemical manufacturers and suppliers able to develop or source custom phosphoramidites and succinates reliably, and to supply them for research and development in quantities from 10 grams to 1 kilogram. Suppliers should be equipped to support work connected to pilot-scale oligonucleotide manufacturing and the requirements of a novel production process. The framework’s ranked supplier structure and potential direct awards may suit businesses able to provide dependable ongoing supply over the contract period, alongside strong service and a competitive price. Quality and service carry greater weight than price in the evaluation, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the reliability and suitability of their materials and their ability to meet CPI’s supply needs. No particular accreditation or prior experience threshold is stated.
